It does search slower than my Slowest computer AMD K2-266, but at 20 seconds per
move, the Playstation did manage two draws against the AMD Computer.

One interesting fact is that the new Playstation 2000 to be released will be
Equivelent to a PIII 500 in gaming power. So as to how strong the program will
be over the standard playstation is still unknown.

I will get around to some tests on positions and see how it rates.

I think also we should all have a go at writing reviews, Mine took me about 1
hour to think and compile it.

With CM7K, Fritz6, Rebel Century out, some reviews would be nice, even if they
are not like some have done in the past.
